John Wayne Airport (IATA: SNA, ICAO: KSNA), also known as Orange County Airport, is located near Santa Ana, California USA. It may appear on airport destination monitors as Orange County or Santa Ana. It is the second busiest airport in the Greater Los Angeles Area, and the only commercial airport in Orange County.

John Wayne's main termal building, divided into three concourses, is accessible via the I-405, SR-55, and SR-73 freeways. There is limited bus service by OCTA and Irvine Shuttle.

Service is primarily domestic, but the airport has received a small number of pre-cleared flights from Canada over the years. A Federal Inspection Services station opened in 2011, allowing several airlines to operate to and from Mexico.

The airport is known for its strict noise regulations. A weekday curfew applies between 10pm and 7am during which scheduled flights are prohibited. Takeoffs often involve a steep initial climb at full power followed by a sharp throttling back of the engines while overflying the City of Newport Beach, or a sharp turn very soon after takeoff to avoid the same.
